[IPV6]: MSG_ERRQUEUE messages do not pass to connected raw sockets
From: Dmitry Butskoy <dmitry@butskoy.name>
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8747
Problem Description:
It is related to the possibility to obtain MSG_ERRQUEUE messages from the udp
and raw sockets, both connected and unconnected.
There is a little typo in net/ipv6/icmp.c code, which prevents such messages
to be delivered to the errqueue of the correspond raw socket, when the socket
is CONNECTED. The typo is due to swap of local/remote addresses.
Consider __raw_v6_lookup() function from net/ipv6/raw.c. When a raw socket is
looked up usual way, it is something like:
sk = __raw_v6_lookup(sk, nexthdr, daddr, saddr, IP6CB(skb)->iif);
where "daddr" is a destination address of the incoming packet (IOW our local
address), "saddr" is a source address of the incoming packet (the remote end).
But when the raw socket is looked up for some icmp error report, in
net/ipv6/icmp.c:icmpv6_notify() , daddr/saddr are obtained from the echoed
fragment of the "bad" packet, i.e. "daddr" is the original destination
address of that packet, "saddr" is our local address. Hence, for
icmpv6_notify() must use "saddr, daddr" in its arguments, not "daddr, saddr"
...
Steps to reproduce:
Create some raw socket, connect it to an address, and cause some error
situation: f.e. set ttl=1 where the remote address is more than 1 hop to reach.
Set IPV6_RECVERR .
Then send something and wait for the error (f.e. poll() with POLLERR|POLLIN).
You should receive "time exceeded" icmp message (because of "ttl=1"), but the
socket do not receive it.
If you do not connect your raw socket, you will receive MSG_ERRQUEUE
successfully. (The reason is that for unconnected socket there are no actual
checks for local/remote addresses).

[NET_SCHED]: Revert "avoid transmit softirq on watchdog wakeup" optimization
As noticed by Ranko Zivojnovic <ranko@spidernet.net>, calling qdisc_run

The entire optimization is a bit questionable IMO, it moves potentially
large parts of NET_TX_SOFTIRQ work to TIMER_SOFTIRQ/HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ,
which kind of defeats the separation of them.

[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: Don't track locally generated special ICMP error
The conntrack assigned to locally generated ICMP error is usually the one
assigned to the original packet which has caused the error. But if
the original packet is handled as invalid by nf_conntrack, no conntrack
is assigned to the original packet. Then nf_ct_attach() cannot assign
any conntrack to the ICMP error packet. In that case the current
nf_conntrack_icmp assigns appropriate conntrack to it. But the current
code mistakes the direction of the packet. As a result, NAT code mistakes
the address to be mangled.
To fix the bug, this changes nf_conntrack_icmp not to assign conntrack
to such ICMP error. Actually no address is necessary to be mangled
in this case.

[NET]: Add net_device change_rx_mode callback
Currently the set_multicast_list (and set_rx_mode) callbacks are
responsible for configuring the device according to the IFF_PROMISC,
IFF_MULTICAST and IFF_ALLMULTI flags and the mc_list (and uc_list in
case of set_rx_mode).
These callbacks can be invoked from BH context without the rtnl_mutex
by dev_mc_add/dev_mc_delete, which makes reading the device flags and
promiscous/allmulti count racy. For real hardware drivers that just
commit all changes to the hardware this is not a real problem since
the stack guarantees to call them for every change, so at least the
final call will not race and commit the correct configuration to the
hardware.
For software devices that want to synchronize promiscous and multicast
state to an underlying device however this can cause corruption of the
underlying device's flags or promisc/allmulti counts.
When the software device is concurrently put in promiscous or allmulti
mode while set_multicast_list is invoked from bottem half context, the
device might synchronize the change to the underlying device without
holding the rtnl_mutex, which races with concurrent changes to the
underlying device.
Add a dev->change_rx_flags hook that is invoked when any of the flags
that affect rx filtering change (under the rtnl_mutex), which allows
drivers to perform synchronization immediately and only synchronize
the address lists in set_multicast_list/set_rx_mode.

dmaengine: driver for the iop32x, iop33x, and iop13xx raid engines
The Intel(R) IOP series of i/o processors integrate an Xscale core with
raid acceleration engines. The capabilities per platform are:
iop219:
(2) copy engines
iop321:
(2) copy engines
(1) xor and block fill engine
iop33x:
(2) copy and crc32c engines
(1) xor, xor zero sum, pq, pq zero sum, and block fill engine
iop34x (iop13xx):
(2) copy, crc32c, xor, xor zero sum, and block fill engines
(1) copy, crc32c, xor, xor zero sum, pq, pq zero sum, and block fill engine
The driver supports the features of the async_tx api:
* asynchronous notification of operation completion
* implicit (interupt triggered) handling of inter-channel transaction
dependencies
The driver adapts to the platform it is running by two methods.
1/ #include <asm/arch/adma.h> which defines the hardware specific
iop_chan_* and iop_desc_* routines as a series of static inline
functions
2/ The private platform data attached to the platform_device defines the
capabilities of the channels
20070626: Callbacks are run in a tasklet. Given the recent discussion on
LKML about killing tasklets in favor of workqueues I did a quick conversion
of the driver. Raid5 resync performance dropped from 50MB/s to 30MB/s, so
the tasklet implementation remains until a generic softirq interface is
available.

slots to be requested eventually leading to data corruption
* enabled the slot allocation routine to attempt to free slots before

Check operations are scheduled when the array is being resynced or an
explicit 'check/repair' command was sent to the array. Previously check
operations would destroy the parity block in the cache such that even if
parity turned out to be correct the parity block would be marked
!R5_UPTODATE at the completion of the check. When the operation can be
carried out by a dma engine the assumption is that it can check parity as a
read-only operation. If raid5_run_ops notices that the check was handled
by hardware it will preserve the R5_UPTODATE status of the parity disk.
When a check operation determines that the parity needs to be repaired we
reuse the existing compute block infrastructure to carry out the operation.
Repair operations imply an immediate write back of the data, so to
differentiate a repair from a normal compute operation the
STRIPE_OP_MOD_REPAIR_PD flag is added.

handle_stripe will compute a block when a backing disk has failed, or when
it determines it can save a disk read by computing the block from all the
other up-to-date blocks.
Previously a block would be computed under the lock and subsequent logic in
handle_stripe could use the newly up-to-date block. With the raid5_run_ops
implementation the compute operation is carried out a later time outside
the lock. To preserve the old functionality we take advantage of the
dependency chain feature of async_tx to flag the block as R5_Wantcompute
and then let other parts of handle_stripe operate on the block as if it
were up-to-date. raid5_run_ops guarantees that the block will be ready
before it is used in another operation.
However, this only works in cases where the compute and the dependent
operation are scheduled at the same time. If a previous call to
handle_stripe sets the R5_Wantcompute flag there is no facility to pass the
async_tx dependency chain across successive calls to raid5_run_ops. The
req_compute variable protects against this case.

handle_write_operations5. A read-modify-write operation will perform an
xor subtraction of the blocks marked with the R5_Wantprexor flag, copy the
new data into the stripe (biodrain) and perform a postxor operation across
all up-to-date blocks to generate the new parity. A reconstruct write is run
when all blocks are already up-to-date in the cache so all that is needed
is a biodrain and postxor.
On the completion path STRIPE_OP_PREXOR will be set if the operation was a
read-modify-write. The STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN flag is used in the completion
path to differentiate write-initiated postxor operations versus
expansion-initiated postxor operations. Completion of a write triggers i/o
to the drives.

* make the 'rcw' parameter to handle_write_operations5 a simple flag, Neil Brown
* remove test_and_set/test_and_clear BUG_ONs, Neil Brown

md: common infrastructure for running operations with raid5_run_ops
All the handle_stripe operations that are to be transitioned to use
raid5_run_ops need a method to coherently gather work under the stripe-lock
and hand that work off to raid5_run_ops. The 'get_stripe_work' routine
runs under the lock to read all the bits in sh->ops.pending that do not
have the corresponding bit set in sh->ops.ack. This modified 'pending'
bitmap is then passed to raid5_run_ops for processing.
The transition from 'ack' to 'completion' does not need similar protection
as the existing release_stripe infrastructure will guarantee that
handle_stripe will run again after a completion bit is set, and
handle_stripe can tolerate a sh->ops.completed bit being set while the lock
is held.
A call to async_tx_issue_pending_all() is added to raid5d to kick the
offload engines once all pending stripe operations work has been submitted.
This enables batching of the submission and completion of operations.

md: raid5_run_ops - run stripe operations outside sh->lock
When the raid acceleration work was proposed, Neil laid out the following
attack plan:
1/ move the xor and copy operations outside spin_lock(&sh->lock)
2/ find/implement an asynchronous offload api
The raid5_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api (async_tx) and
the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+copy
operations asynchronously, outside the lock.
To perform operations outside the lock a new set of state flags is needed
to track new requests, in-flight requests, and completed requests. In this
new model handle_stripe is tasked with scanning the stripe_head for work,
updating the stripe_operations structure, and finally dropping the lock and
calling raid5_run_ops for processing. The following flags outline the
requests that handle_stripe can make of raid5_run_ops:
STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
- copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
- generate a missing block in the cache from the other blocks
STRIPE_OP_PREXOR
- subtract existing data as part of the read-modify-write process
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
- copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR
- recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
STRIPE_OP_CHECK
- verify that the parity is correct
STRIPE_OP_IO
- submit i/o to the member disks (note this was already performed outside
the stripe lock, but it made sense to add it as an operation type
The flow is:
1/ handle_stripe sets STRIPE_OP_* in sh->ops.pending
2/ raid5_run_ops reads sh->ops.pending, sets sh->ops.ack, and submits the
operation to the async_tx api
3/ async_tx triggers the completion callback routine to set
sh->ops.complete and release the stripe
4/ handle_stripe runs again to finish the operation and optionally submit
new operations that were previously blocked
Note this patch just defines raid5_run_ops, subsequent commits (one per
major operation type) modify handle_stripe to take advantage of this
routine.
Changelog:
* removed ops_complete_biodrain in favor of ops_complete_postxor and
ops_complete_write.
* removed the raid5_run_ops workqueue
* call bi_end_io for reads in ops_complete_biofill, saves a call to

raid5: refactor handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 (v3)
handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 have very deep logic paths handling the
various states of a stripe_head. By introducing the 'stripe_head_state'

'struct stripe_head_state' consumes all of the automatic variables that previously
stood alone in handle_stripe5,6. 'struct r6_state' contains the handle_stripe6

async_tx: add the async_tx api
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies. It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources.
I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown
async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:
async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.
Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available
Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied
source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch
modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
to mirror the hardware.

- Jeff Garzik
The descriptor creation process is refactored using the new common
dma_async_tx_descriptor structure. Instead of per driver
do_<operation>_<dest>_to_<src> methods, drivers integrate
dma_async_tx_descriptor into their private software descriptor and then
define a 'prep' routine per operation. The prep routine allocates a
descriptor and ensures that the tx_set_src, tx_set_dest, tx_submit routines
are valid. Descriptor creation and submission becomes:
tx = dev->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_flag)
tx->tx_set_src(dma_addr_t, tx, index /* for multi-source ops */)
tx->tx_set_dest(dma_addr_t, tx, index)
tx->tx_submit(tx)
In addition to the refactoring, dma_async_tx_descriptor also lays the
groundwork for definining cross-channel-operation dependencies, and a
callback facility for asynchronous notification of operation completion.
